Caught 4-5 in a row (Then a few random fish inbetween) at the Stormwind Harbor > Northrend pier

I would recommend these for raising cooking at 50 (Recipe can be purchased at the recipe master in Stormwind) since its two birds with one stone, getting your fishing up while collecting cooking mats.

I also noticed I was collecting Oily Blackmouths every so often, too, which are used for Blackmouth Oil (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=7836), a mat for a few kinds of useful potions -

~ Free Action Potion which makes one immune to Stun and Movement Impairing effects for the next 30 sec.~Swim Speed Potion which increases swim speed by 100% for 20 sec.~Elixir of Water Breathing which allows the imbiber to breathe water for 30 min.

The raw rainbow albacore can be used for cooking from skill level 50+. And, the oily blackmouth fetches a nice price on the auction because of alchemy. Oily Blackmouth is used for 3 different potions as mentioned by Cush1337.

Do you have to fish in schools or can they be caught in just the water?

Comment by bendolf

Can also be fished along the coast of Silverpine Forest. And they can also be caught just in the water, no schools required. Im not even sure if they exist. Found some oily blackmouth schools along the coast as well.

Fished up hella lots on the merchant coast, just fishing, not from a school. Coord: 72, 88

old post I know, but the best place to fish for these would be right by the dock / darkshore (335a) or indeed (410)

Fished off pier at Stormwind to help increase cooking skills. Fishing level 315. Fished with lure for 10 minutes and didn't get one. Brilliant fish, catfish and mud snappers galore but no albacore.

Hitting 'em like crazy on little island off Westfall 25.3, 17.4!

5 in a row at 45, 58 Azshara. Unfortunately I'm going for the Mightfish! =(

Comment by Necropenguin

These fish are a very common catch in the waters around the new Darkmoon Island zone coming in the 4.3 patch.

Comment by restopresto

wonder if these can be purchased from a vendor?

Comment by FuryWar

I followed rah55's advice and went to the tiny island off Westfall on the Longshore and caught loads of these at 26.16!

If the Darkmoon Faie happens to be going, these buggers bite like crazy from the docks at the Faire! (Along with Oily Blackmouths & Firefin Snapper!)

Comment by Lazyass

For horde, head out to Ratchet and fish off the dock there. Three out of four times, I caught an albacore. My fishing skill was only around 60 or so. Doesn't require much. Also caught some slitherskin mackerel which you can use to level up cooking too. Recipe to that is sold by a troll in Sen'jin Village in Durotar among other places.

Can anyone please tell me why these are going for 1g+ from AH each? They seem rather useless to me.
